I am recovering 6 dining chairs. Not slipcovers. The wood will stay as is since it is appropriate for the house and table. I am using unbleached drop cloths for the covering so I can screw it up repeatedly and play to my hearts content. I am using a paintable ink which is permanent and does not change the feel or hand of the cloth. So here are my first 2 attempts at ideas. The top is done with one method, the bottom with a differ method. Any preference? My second idea is to paint each chair in the style of different artists I love but using a similar palette. Is that too corny? My artists would be Paul Klee, Kandinsky, Joan Miro, Frida Kahlo, Matisse and Picasso. Don't have any samples of those made up but if the vote is to go in that direction I'll get right on making some. I will keep me off the roof and candy crush at least. Will post the chair first and then the sample I do have done. The floors are natural white oak and some ancient orientals. What you see now is paper on the floor for protection during some nasty turd excavation. Now the silliness may resume. |
Follow-Up Postings:
My two cents (and not worth that much either) - I prefer the lower sample, but if the top samples didn't have the white squiggles I would choose them. You are so creative - can't wait to see what you end up with. |
How about if the squiggles weren't white? |

" I am using a paintable ink which is permanent and does not change the feel or hand of the cloth. " oooohhhh What brand? |
Inktense blocks. Very fun ! You wet a brush and rub over the block just like watercolors in a pan. Iron to heat and walla. YouTube has a good video. |
I would like the backs done in the upper left with the seats done in the lower sample. Maybe you entertain a different type guest than many of us, those who would actually GET the different artist concept. But if so, or are you are doing it for you and would get great pleasure from it, then I'd do that. |
I think it's utterly awesome. I also like the bottom one and the top one on the right if it had squiggles other than white. I've seen the term "hand" used when referring to fabric. What does that mean? |
I may have been busted. I used a term I'm not 100% sure of its meaning. Sort of like name dropping. What I meant it to mean is how the fabric feels to the touch, whether it is stiff or soft, how it drapes, how it holds a crease or how it is to work with. |
What does the room that will house the chairs look like? That would have a significant impact on my preference of the samples shown. As for your idea, I'd say if you can paint in a passable facsimile of those styles it would be fabulous! But think the execution would have to be pretty good or it would look corny. Can't wait to see more of this project! Are you an artist? |
I was an art major in college until I realized I'd starve so I became a nurse. It has worked out very well since nursing is so flexible and I've rarely worked full time. It has also provided the funds for supplies without guilt. I'm pretty good at fulfilling whatever I envision because whatever talent I may have in short supply I make up in being fearless and persistent. Doesn't mean I haven't turned out some real stinkers in my day. Hope this isn't one of them. Another idea is doing big gaudy botanicals. I'm attaching one of those below even though it is not finished and not well cleaned up yet. As for what the room will look like who knows. It's in the mountains so the views are the main feature. Lots of big windows. Creamy walls and quarter sawn white oak flooring with big old mostly red orientals. The dining table is a really old family one out of black walnut. One wall of the dining room is going to be wall to wall wood stained bookcases with lots of old books and some of my pottery collection, antique and contemporary. I have no fear of color or clutter. Istanbul whorehouse remember. |
What a great idea, and thanks for sharing the information on the ink paint! I like the sample on the upper right. Any chance you have a picture of the table? |
Oh please, oh please, oh please do the artists! A Frido Kahlo chair!?! It makes my heart flutter! |
- Posted by technicolor (My Page) on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 7:18
I'm in love with the last one. My type of creative endeavor. |
Another vote for doing the artists! How awesome that would be. Would you be painting the just the backs, or the seats also? And are you SURE that the paint won't rub off if I attend one of your famous dinner parties in my white satin Versace gown? |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 7:55
Yes, do the artists. I think it would be awesome and not corny at all. Not just saying that to keep you off the roof :) |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 8:30
None of that goes with the wood chair as the frame to the art. The chair needs to be less obtrusive into the paintings. It's not simple enough, or monochrome enough. If you paint it black, or leaf it gold, to cover the busier woodgrain, then it would look more approprate. Although, it might just veer off into Mexican restaurant kitsch. The psuedo Georgia O'Keefe is already dangerously close to that. Better in a large scale project to be easier appreciated. Like drapes. Sitting your tookus on your talent is kinda may not be a metaphor tha you want to introduce into your home |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 9:44
I wonder if you could pick a motive, say, flowers and then paint in the style of the artists. I wouldn't paint an actual copy of a real painting. And perhaps keep the seat the same fabric, maybe even a solid and just paint the back. Or maybe just inspired by ... |
Or, something similar to these types of patterns. I fell in love with their designs, enough to order pillows online from Scotland. Not cheap, but oh so nice with my ridiculously neutral decor. www.bluebellgray.com |
Well if you need any pictures of decorating with big gaudy botanicals, I'm your man. I have a basement of them. And when they started arriving I realized the gaudier they were, the better they look. :-) Not sure of those Jane Hall designs with the painted frames.....the frame color might look better a softer color than the designs. |
Oh no, Mexican restaurant kitch would be a very bad thing indeed so out go the Georgia wantabes. I think the nudie deer chair would be divine if only it didn't have that gaudy silver paint. We must keep things tasteful mustn't we. My SIL wants me to do the seats in the painted plaid and the backs in "artist" rip offs. What do you think. Remember, this is not a house that takes itself seriously. It is a house for fun and experimentation. Nancy Reagan won't be coming by anytime soon. Here is the table. Crazy granny bought it at an antique store in bucks county in the early 40s and had it refinished. Hasn't been touched since and has all the patina and defects you'd expect after 70 years of hard use. It will remain as is. Perfection is not welcome in this home. On the wall you see there on the right will be wall to wall ceiling to floor wonky wooden bookcase I designed all cut and ready to be assembled when floors get finished (and squirrels evicted). No more browns, tans, or ecrus need apply for residence. I am doing blues and greens and reds and yellow if it kills me. |
rgps Love, love, love your style and attitude!! Great table! As for the chairs, I would vote for the artwork to be on the outside back of the chairs. Do the plaid on the inside back and seats. ps: I am stealing your phrase " Perfection is not welcome in this home"! |
Agree with plaid on business side of chairs and knockoffs on backs, both because they will see less wear there, and will be seen more often when walking by the room. |
Oohhhh, how about bug chairs. This painting is with the ink but on paper not fabric. But I can put the bugs on the fabric they just won't be quite as crisp. |
I love your ideas and your samples. Whatever you chose will be fabulous. |
- Posted by luvmysophiejo (My Page) on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 15:42
Love the bugs! Can't wait to see what you do! |
Well, I love all the stuff you've shown us, and it sounds like you could whip up new upholstery if and when you tire of something else. I like the pastel plaid for the sitting down part. I really think the insects would be awesome on the backs of the chairs. I like your approach to style and think you can get away with putting whatever you want on those very chairs. Love the table! |
Okay here is THE plan. Plaid on the seats. Bugs on the back and artist rip offs on the front. No one can say "oh, I have a pair of those." Nor would they probably want to. Now I just have finish the demolition cleanup and I can crack out the canvas and inks. Hope to start painting in the morning. Thanks one and all for the advise and encouragement. It's nice to have semi-sane people to bounce off my nutty ideas. My family just rolls their eyes and hope I get sidetracked on something less funkadelic. Rarely do they get their wish. |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 17:08
What kind of artist rip-offs are thinking of? |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 17:23
Also, what about Matisse? Or Chagall? |
Here is a link that might be useful: some chairs for inspiration
- Posted by mtnrdredux (My Page) on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 17:55
I like the bug chairs. NO reason to copy anyone or anything. Were these someone else's chairs before? Looks like the chairs are in for quite a change! I cannot imagine the same person with both the before and after! |
Gee thanks nosoccermom. Can't I ever one original idea in my life? I really thought my chairs would be unique but nnnooooo. Oh well, they will be the only ones on this hilltop at least. Mtn- yes they belonged to my late SIL who probably would have had nancy Reagan over to dine. The table is the one I grew up around however. There may even be some peas and mashed potaoes I deposited on the shirt in 1959. I still hate cooked peas. |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 19:31
They will be unique because you make your own unique design. It's like saying painting isn't original :) |
- Posted by three3apples (My Page) on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 19:35
This is phenomenal. I once painted a wooden stool to look like a Tiffany window. I love your ideas!!! I would either gild or do a lacquer type paint on the frames. The choice depends on what the rest of the room looks like, I think. I can't wait to see what you come up with. |
- Posted by ghostlyvision (My Page) on Sun, Aug 10, 14 at 10:58
Looking very forward to the 'done' pics, love your ideas and how you ferreted it down to the plaid/bug/knock off, they're going to be spectacular. And by the way, you used 'hand' correctly, it does refer to the drape of fabric. :) |
Will the insects all be the same species or will they also vary? You might do some research and find bugs that are indigenous to each artist's home--or the place where they painted the work featured on the front. |
All bugs will be different although I am partial to beetles and moths. I may ixnay the idea of artist rip offs since EVERYONE seems to have already done that and stick to my plaid and bugs. ( did you know spellcheck doesn't accept pig Latin? Imagine.) Plus if I ever want to run for public office I'd hate to be changed with copyright violations. I think I'll start with being a senator. They have the cooler offices. |
- Posted by luvmysophiejo (My Page) on Sun, Aug 10, 14 at 19:08
Luv, that is a most excellent bug and great web site. Here is a beetle quilt I made a few years ago that May have to move to this house to keep the beetle chairs company. Now that the varmint eviction is nearing completion I think the beetles will be safe. |
I love that! |
I'm excited to see what you do! |
Rgps, can I come live with you? Please please pretty please???? |
Mclarke, just bring along a gas mask. Mouse and squirrel turds everywhere. Now it's time for you guys take another vote. I have 2 plaids I painted and you get to decide which is better. The rejected one will be used for the polyester octagon plaid squirrel pants. Have to post the two separately since I just can't figure out that damn photobucket trick the rest of you are all so clever with. |
- Posted by lonestaralaskan (My Page) on Mon, Aug 11, 14 at 14:39
I like the stained-glass look of the fabric with the smaller squares. |
- Posted by ghostlyvision (My Page) on Mon, Aug 11, 14 at 20:58
I like them both but #2 is grabbing at my heart. Maybe it's the bug feelers on the back. |
- Posted by luvmysophiejo (My Page) on Mon, Aug 11, 14 at 21:29
#2 is my vote |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Tue, Aug 12, 14 at 10:39
On its own, I like #1 better (reminds me of Klee), but I think with the bugs, #2 might work better. |
Wow. I have never even thought of painting a chair. The examples that have been shared are fabulous!! I love the idea of botanical AND a bug. Since they seem to go hand in hand, bugs and botanicals. I would paint the chair frames. But that is the great thing about art, especially you being the artist, is you can do it however you please. I can't wait to see the finished project. |

Getting Your Company Onboard with LPO
- Posted by Joanna Lord to Mobile
I don't like the word "optimization." It has surpassed the level of buzz word and has officially been overused in every which way. While the word itself annoys me, the process of improving what you have to get more from it still rings true. I think we can all get onboard with the concept, but what about the process behind it? I am constantly surprised by the number of people that tell me their boss or client simply doesn't want to spend time on landing page optimization.

Vintage 56 has been described as a tapas and wine bar. The décor is contemporary, with indoor and outdoor dining, cloth napkins and modern art, with music that is fun but not intrusive. The bar offers 56 martinis and a good-sized wine list and the menu features a touch of Mediterranean flair with a little Asian spice!
With 10 military performers and 6 civilian air vessels, the Cocoa Beach Air Show delights and awes guests seated in the exhilarating drop zone. Against the ocean's gentle lapping, the daredevil performers careen into the sun, writing invisible graffiti on the sky with impeccable grace, speed, and cursive. U.S. Navy Seals Leap Frogs launch from passing planes, floating ethereally to the sand just feet away from the drop-zone seating area. A B1B Lancer fighter jet screams across the blue expanse, leaving torn sound barriers and envious seagulls in its wake.
For more than 25 years, the Festival of Orchestras has attracted internationally renowned symphony orchestras to fill central Florida with the crashing thunder of brass instruments and the melodious vibrations of strings. Hearken to the harmonious reverberations of the German State Philharmonic, playing its first U.S. tour and featuring conductor Philippe Entremont, whose enigmatic conducting style has inspired musicians and accidentally opened intergalactic wormholes. With this deal, you'll get to witness the orchestra at Longwood's Northland Performing Arts Center, called a "music lover's dream" by the Orlando Sentinel for its wide seats and warm acoustics. The program includes a sweeping performance of historically moving pieces, including Weber's Oberon Overture, a piano concerto by Mozart, and Mahler's Symphony no. 4. Call 407-539-0245 to reserve spots for a free optional pre-concert lecture at 6:30 p.m.
As Tommy, one of Howl at the Moon's piano players, explains on the club's website, "Every night…we try and throw a party, regardless of whether it's a Tuesday night or a Saturday night." The bar's trademark dueling pianos serve as the epicenter of these nightly celebrations; patrons submit their favorite songs on slips of paper for the pianists and backing musicians to recreate. If the website's playlist is any indication, the bands can handle popular songs from all genres and eras, from Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" to Kanye West's "All of the Lights." The performances are spirited: colorful lights splash upon a stage where servers, guests, and chairs that have somehow developed mobility all dance along to the music.
Fueling the celebration is the bar's indulgent selection of drinks. Servers stand over patrons to plunge jello injectors into their mouths, and revelers grab colorful straws to help drain 86-ounce booze buckets filled with sangria or other fruity libations. Pomegranate liqueur and honey-infused whiskey sweeten specialty cocktails, and local beers add depth to coolers stocked with Stella Artois and Dos Equis.
The Hershey Theatre, conceived in 1933 by noted philanthropist and chocolatier Milton S. Hershey, stands as an opulent tribute to the performing arts. Taking architectural cues from Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, the foyer's towering arches gleam with golden paint and crystal chandeliers. The blue-and-gold mosaic that leads to the main seating area is the masterwork of two German artists who spent two years on its construction. Once inside the theater, audiences might think they've stepped onto the streets of Venice thanks to the atmospheric ceiling, stonework facades, and gondoliers paddling them to their seats. ####Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Music has permeated the 800 manicured acres where the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has stood since 1969, when farmer Max Yasgur agreed to let love, peace, and harmony grow wild at the very first Woodstock festival. These days, the renowned outdoor venue and cultural center continues to attract the biggest acts in music to its pavilion stage. The open-air design ensures ample ventilation on the natural sloping lawn, and a roof protects up to 15,000 fans from inclement weather and the prying eyes of Cessna pilots.
Legendary rock icon and influential multi-instrumentalist Edgar Winter struts his decades of musical savvy as his latest tour rollicks generations of fans. A child prodigy, Winter has built a long-lasting career on imagination and inimitable virtuosity. Famous for such classic-rock staples as "Tobacco Road," "Free Ride" and the hummable No. 1 hit "Frankenstein," the performer left his forever stamp on popular music by pioneering the use of keyboard body straps, synthesizers, and solar-powered kazoos in his live shows. Winter whisks away audiences on an electrifying trip through his oeuvre, hitting all the hits and running through genres with no regard for the genre guard.

"Jaipur, the pink city of Rajasthan" Top 5 Page for this destination Jaipur by schlumpf
Jaipur Travel Guide: 1,078 reviews and 3,258 photos
Jaipur is in the middle of the golden triangle of the indian tourism which includes Delhi, Agra and indeed, Jaipur.
This very impressing city isn't really big, but is fullfilled of important sites that has to be visited during the stay.
As always, more toursits pass by a place, more this place became confident with tourism, and the impact is not always good.
Indeed, walking trough Jaipur, moreover in the main touristic place like Hawa Mahal or the market beside it, all the people are very used to be in stuff with tourists and you can find yourself in a very stressing situations, like be surrounded by paople offering you whatever, trying to sell you the most stupid stuff and so on...Be aware morevoer near the Hawa Mahal and clearly take care of the Rickshaw driver which are defintiely stressing you all day long.
That said, Jaipur is also a very pleasant and nice place where to stay at least three days..Take care ocne is raining...check the pics out !!
Here you should at least visit the beauty of the Hawa Mahal, the flower Market (not the touristic stuff market!!) where none is stressing you, the Monkey temple (unbelievable with no one tourist at all!), the center fullfilled of Rickshaw, camels and monkeys (strange views!!!!) the Amber fort, the Tiger Fort, the city palace and the center of the city a.k.a. Tripolia Gate.
That said, I should also say that here I met the most beautifull people, so much open and very afashinated by where i come from; for example, once I was walking to reach the monkey Temple (the most beautifull place to visit in Jaipur, by the way!), I took a brek and sit for a while and immediately after a guy came to me asking if we could take a picture together with him, asking me to send him a copy as he wanna show it to his parents...wow! Of course, I simply did it...
After that, he took me till the Monkey temple and we talk a bit together...this is so cool!
It will definitely happend that on the way, people will watch you (moreover in palces not so common for tourist as this one), and will stop you and start talking with you...This is what I like more...
- Pros:lot of sites and great places to visit
- Cons:people are too used to be in touch with tourists
- In a nutshell:go trought the streets, there is the real pink city

Nic epage, thanks for the tips!
Great pictures. We are heading here in early November. Sorry i didn't contact you about Wien, but i was so busy with the family. I am sure we will meet up again, somewhere. When and where is your next trip? Cheers!
Wha an amazing place Luca,excellent tips and pictures.
Great, very interesting travel page! Greetings!
Very nice page, interesting photos. I really like it. Good job!
Nice page!!!
Jal Mahal (Lake Palace) looks fantastic! I see large contrast between cool places to see and some inconveniences of traveling well desribed in Warning and Tourist Traps tips. Well, India is worth of those inconveniences, right?
Come stai Luca. Spero non e un stupido domanda ma puo mangiare monkeys in India?

The thing is, Wellesley to me is a college like no other. Yes, I am sure I could have attended another college and done just as well, if not better; however, my experience wouldn't be as rich. I wouldn't have gotten to have a writing class and 200-level political science class with seven people my first year. I wouldn't have met people who are so different from me in every way and had them become some of my best friends with some of our only similarities being our love for "Mean Girls," trips to the MFA, and the pursuit of knowledge. I don't think I would hold the officer positions I do in various organizations, nor would I have been able to do research with the head of the Sociology Department as a sophomore. I'm not saying Wellesley is perfect, because it isn't; but I do consider it to be a second home for me, a place where I feel safe, yet at the same time am able to strike out on my own and carve my own path with the help of the tools and resources Wellesley gives me.
When choosing a college we are often told to find the place with a great social life, world-renown departments or professors, and the coolest dorms. My advice is to find the place that makes you feel at ease and gives you the most opportunities to excel because no matter where you go will be a point where the going gets hard. My first semester, I was terribly homesick, yet thankfully the communities I'm a part of at Wellesley as well as the supportive faculty here were able to pull me out of my gloom. So don't just choose a college with the coolest dorms or most illustrious faculty because those factors don't help you when you need it most, it's just not worth it.
Nora Mishanec '14, Cognitive & Linguistic Sciences, Schenectady, New York
I attended community college for a year, and that's where I realized that I wanted to go to a school with small classes and lots of access to professors. I babysat the son of an alumna for many years. After putting him to bed, I would always pick up her copy of the College's alumnae magazine. I loved reading about Wellesley but never considered going here because I dismissed it as too expensive. When I told her that I was thinking about transferring to a liberal arts school, she convinced me to apply and helped me through the transfer process. Her love for Wellesley came through loud and clear, and that's how I wanted to feel about my school. I visited the campus and drove home hoping that I would get accepted. Luckily, I did! See Nora in the video: Heroine: Who's yours?
Kirstin Yanisch '13, Political Science and French, Shoreview, Minnesota
As a student from the Midwest, the best college-related decision I made was to choose a place that would allow me to expand my view of the world. I took my first steps on the Wellesley campus unsure of what to expect. That same sense of wonder accompanies me every day here. I encourage you to approach your college choice as a way to stretch yourself beyond what you know. For me, the liberal arts women's college experience was worlds away my from life back home and has enriched me in ways I never anticipated. In short, I encourage you to pick the place that will challenge you to grow the most. For me, Wellesley is that place.
Houda Khaled '16, Biological Chemistry, Philadephia, Pennsylvania
Katie Joh '14, International Relations/Political Science, Millbrae, California
I knew I had to come to Wellesley when I heard an alumna talk about her experiences staying up all night talking with friends: about everything, from religion, politics, tolerance and indifference, and yes, feminism. As the most outspoken girl at my high school, this sounded like heaven to me, and Wellesley has not disappointed over the past three years. I have found kindred spirits here who will discuss just about anything as animatedly and as copiously as I, and the bond I share with some of these friends goes deeper than words. It is true that professors and peers alike at Wellesley will push you beyond your comfort zone at times, but I have found that I have grown the most precisely because of the challenges I have faced here. And at the end of the day, I have always felt safe at Wellesley because underpinning everything at this campus is an ethos of sisterhood: a dedication to ceaselessly respect, protect, and love one another unconditionally.
Kellen Kartub '14, Chemistry and Music, Manhattan Beach, California
Honestly, I never intended on choosing all women's college. I visited Wellesley on a whim, to check it out and just get a feel for the atmosphere. But something about the campus really spoke to me, and I found myself hooked. It didn't take much; after a few seconds of walking around I knew this place would be a good fit for me. There is this wonderful sense of drive, focus, and beauty on campus that is really inspiring. I love to sing. I am heavily involved with the Wellesley College Choir, and I love it. We have been having such a great year so far, and I'm filled with so much happiness and pride when I think about all the progress choir has made. Our fall concert went so well; the music was so beautiful, and I had such a blast singing. My friends told me that I looked really happy on stage, and that's because I was. It felt amazing to finally share all the great pieces we've been working on.
Loriade Akin-Olugbade '14, French and Psychology, Lagos, Nigeria
I came to Wellesley mostly because of the Wellesley network and all the resources that are available to students for internships, work experience, etc. At Wellesley, I like the fact that I can say what I want without feeling the pressure to "sound smart" or control how I say things. No males, not even my male professors, get special treatments anymore!
Narayani Gupta '15, Economics, Jaipur, India
The reasons I chose to come to Wellesley and why I would never leave are innumerable. I love how at Wellesley students are treated like daughters. There are small classes and professors are very approachable. The campus is beautiful and we have our own lake. As for a women's college, the whole environment is very comfortable. You can walk around in sweatpants and talk about almost anything and people won't judge you. Everyone at Wellesley is special and there is no cut-throat competition.
Arlevea Freeman '15, Economics, Chicago, Illinois
I choose Wellesley because of the women I met on and off campus who continue to inspire and awe me. When I came for Fall Open Campus, I was overjoyed over the conversations, lessons, and new friends I was able to have. That was over one weekend! I knew Wellesley was a place I could truly call home. Being a part of the Wellesley Choir is an experience that has shaped my musical and social life. I've gotten the chance to learn Portuguese, Russian, and Latin, as well as make and eat the best blondies I have ever had, all while singing along to Cinderella, the musical, with amazing singers.
Laura Yan '14, History and Middle Eastern Studies, Hong Kong
I didn't realize that I would fall in love with Wellesley until after I had been accepted; all I knew at the time of applying was that I wanted to attend a liberal arts college. I wasn't aware of how gorgeous the campus is or how friendly the people are here. All it took to make my decision was the knowledge that I could be part of one of the best intellectual and social environments for women in the world. After that, my decision was clear! Since coming to Wellesley, I've become much more open to trying new things. I started studying Arabic on a whim and I never thought that I would eventually become a Middle Eastern Studies major, especially because it's not a very popular subject in Hong Kong. But I decided to pursue what I am truly passionate about and it has been such a great experience so far.
Michelle Claros '15, Political Science and Peace and Justice Studies, San Jose, California
One of the reasons I was so interested in Wellesley was because I heard about the great student professor bonds. When I visited I sat in on a class and got to see this dynamic and knew it was right for me! This year I realized how great that dynamic is when one of my professors took our class out to dinner. We got to try some delicious new food and have interesting conversations! It made me realize how special Wellesley is especially since many students have this experience as well. —
Sanam Anwar '15, Biological Sciences, Austin, Texas
One of the best things about Wellesley is that I got to be part of Al-Muslimat, Wellesley's Muslim Student Association!
Gladys Raygoza '15, Cinema and Media Arts, Wichita Falls, Texas
The best things about Wellesley are the professors and the support system. The professors are really dedicated and are always willing to help you in office hours even if it's something simple. Wellesley administration is dedicated to making sure that if anyone needs help in any way they can easily receive it. From the RAs to the class deans there are people willing and ready to help with anything from homesickness to homework.
And a few more comments from students from the Class of 2013 and 2012.
Lena Mironciuc '13, Russian Language & Literature and Studio Art, Beltsy, Moldova
I love feeling like I am on the same page as everyone else in terms of goals and motivation and I appreciate Wellesley's incredibly close community.

Misbah Aslam '13, individual major in Health and Society, 2012 Albright Fellow, Kansas City, Missouri
My friendships are stronger and I love the sense of sisterhood, where we all look out for each other.
Aimee Kang '13, English, Osaka, Japan
Living half way across the world and somehow always busy during school breaks, I had to do all my college shopping online. I randomly contacted current students and alums in hopes of gaining a better insight into schools. Immediately, Wellesley stood out from all the others—no other school had students and alums more excited to talk at length about their amazing time at college! The more I heard about Wellesley, the more it felt perfect to me—like home, even from half way around the world. Of course, there were other factors that I liked, including Wellesley's reputation, size, location, and wealth of opportunities that are usually unavailable to students at large, coed universities. In the end, I saw these student/alum responses and stories as the ultimate testaments to Wellesley's community and empowering undergraduate experience. I wasn't wrong!
Aryanne de Silva '13, Psychology, Trincity, Trinidad
I chose Wellesley because of its excellent reputation and because of its incredible alumnae network. I also knew that I would be able to form lifelong bonds with talented women here, and I would be able to find a place among them. I love the community of strong, independent women, who share similar interests and goals. I also really enjoy the intellectual aspect of Wellesley. Here I can partake in dynamic discussions about a variety of topics, but particularly on topics related to women, both in and out of the classroom.
Davina Huang '13, History, Singapore
I actually placed a deposit in another college but changed my mind after attending a Wellesley alumnae gathering in my hometown (Singapore). At the event, I met very accomplished Wellesley women who were not only confident in themselves, but also very eager to help me. That was when I first experienced the power of the Wellesley network and, even till now, I'm still keeping in touch with the alums I met back then. I came into Wellesley not knowing what to do with my life. I applied "undecided," thinking that I will find out during my four years in Wellesley. Now in my junior year, I have to say that I still don't have a blueprint for my life. But unlike the previous me, I am not afraid of that uncertainty because I have gained in Wellesley the drive and confidence to explore every opportunity that comes my way! Wellesley has opened my eyes to the range of possibilities in the future and has shown me that there is no one definition of success.
Olivia Hulme '12, Chemistry, Alma, Michigan
I chose Wellesley because of the outstanding opportunities in the science fields to become involved in research with a professor. As a chemistry major, I have had the opportunity to work closely with faculty as an integral part of their laboratory group. The strength of departments outside of my anticipated major was also appealing to me. I was excited to take advantage of the "liberal arts" nature of Wellesley. My four years on the Swimming & Diving team has been my favorite group of memories. I have a family on the team and have learned and grown from my experiences and the women I have had the opportunity to know on the team.
Merene Botsio '12, Africana Studies & International Relations, Accra, Ghana
A quote from my Why Wellesley essay on my application: "Another reason why I love Wellesley so much is the strong alumnae network and the caliber of women that the school churns out. I have always admired Hillary Clinton, and it has always been my greatest desire to attend the college that helped shape her into the successful woman and politician she is today. Hopefully one day, with the vast experience I would have amassed from Wellesley, I would be able to make a difference in this world and enter the annals of the school's history as one of its greatest." Today, not only have I met Hillary Clinton, thanks to Wellesley, but also I can say with confidence that I am well on my way to achieving my dreams.
Rachel Haberman '12, Cognitive & Linguistic Sciences, Sudbury, Massachusetts
I grew up in the town next door and informed my parents that I wanted to go to Wellesley when I was about five years old. Fast-forward 12 years, and I told them I wanted to study music in a conservatory. I transferred to Wellesley after realizing that I wanted more out of my education, and when I came back to visit I found out that that gut feeling I'd had back in kindergarten was right—I just knew that this was the place for me.
Phoebe Handler '12, Environmental Studies, Allison Park, Pennsylvania
Though I decided to apply to Wellesley because of its reputation as an elite liberal arts institution, I found that I was always a bit skeptical about how the school would "fit" me. Even coming from an all-girls high school, I was unconvinced that any single-sex college would be the right place for me. It took about an hour of my Spring Open Campus visit for me to realize that Wellesley was actually the perfect "fit" for me. Never before had I felt so engaged by my peers – I was surrounded by women like me who were interested, engaged, and ambitious about their passions. That was the environment I wanted to spend four years in!
Alexandra Hatem '12, Geosciences & English, Lowell, Massachusetts
To be frank, I wasn't keen on Wellesley until I spent time on campus. Coming from a large, urban, public, coed high school, I was afraid to attend a small, suburban, all-women's, private college because it was unlike anything I had ever done before. After I spent some time on campus and met some students, my fears went away and I realized Wellesley students were actually normal and approachable. Even though I knew I wasn't as cultured, intelligent, or well rounded as the students I met when I visited as a prospie, I met people I aspired to be like. I chose Wellesley because of the mentors and role models I knew I would have here, helping me grow until I could help others.

ProsFun daily driver, great looks. Consneeds a wider powerband.
Celica Gt - Its Sexy. — Performance - Handles great, really tight cornering. Could use more power, especially down low. Quality - Toyota, that's all you need to know.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

WEST Australian government agencies have better control of their
postage stamps than they do of confidential personal information
stored in their computers, a report by the state's corruption watchdog
A Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC) study revealed personal data
held on WA government computers was vulnerable to misuse and must be
better protected through staff security screening, monitored access
and beefed-up criminal laws.
The Protecting Personal Data in the Public Sector report, tabled in
parliament yesterday, found checks on inappropriate access and leakage
of computer-held information were inadequate.
CCC spokesman Glenn Ross said examples of data misuse ranged from
looking up a friend's address on a work computer, to the murder of
former police officer Don Hancock, which was made possible by
information provided to an outlaw motorcycle gang by a public servant.
Former transport department worker Karen Moore was charged and
convicted after providing the name and address to match a car
registration number supplied by a bikie associate.
The following month, the same car - which belonged to Mr Hancock's
friend Lou Lewis - was blown up, killing both men.
A Gypsy Joker bike gang member was later convicted of the bombing
The CCC study examined the handling of personal data in six state and
local government agencies, conducted surveys of 540 public sector
staff and considered 17 submissions - 11 from members of the public.
The state government, which is in the process of drafting new privacy
legislation, said yesterday it would accept many of the CCC's
WA Treasurer Eric Ripper, commenting on behalf of Premier and Public
Sector Management Minister Geoff Gallop, said the government must
improve its practices.
"Every citizen has the right to expect that confidential information
that the government holds will not be used for unauthorised purposes,"
Mr Ripper told reporters.
"Human nature being what is is, it is hard to offer guarantees but we
need to do better in this area (of information security).
"Many public sector managers feel there are deficiencies in our
disciplinary framework and ... if they don't feel they've got the
power to take action, then that is something government has to attend
The report found state and local government agencies had better
systems to control use of petty cash and postage stamps than the
access to confidential information held on computers.
The report, which also supported a privacy commissioner and privacy
legislation, also recommended amending the criminal code to prohibit
unauthorised access and disclosure of information.
Other recommendations included the establishment of uniform
definitions and criminal penalties, regular security checks of public
sector staff, and the introduction of a public sector oath to maintain
the confidentiality of information.

Greece's 10-year yields erased their biggest increase in a month as lawmakers gave conflicting messages about whether the nation had won more time to reduce its deficit.
Spanish 10-year securities rose for the first time in four days as the Greek securities rebounded. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said he had "no new knowledge" of a possible extension to Greece's budget deadline, after Greek Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras told lawmakers in Athens a two-year extension had been achieved. Germany attracted bids for more than its maximum target at a 10-year debt sale.
"There's some positive news in the market and although it's being denied, Greek bonds appear to be assuming there is no smoke without fire," said Peter Chatwell, a strategist at Credit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank in London. "The common view is that Greece's debt is beyond the point of sustainability so some form of debt relief has to materialize. So the reports strike a chord with that way of thinking."
The yield on 10-year Greek bonds fell three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 17.02 percent at 4:47 p.m. London time after rising as much as 75 basis points to 17.79 percent, the biggest jump since Sept. 24. The 2 percent security maturing in February 2023 rose 0.095, or 95 euro cents per 1,000-euro ($1,296) face amount, to 32.8.
Manufacturing, Services
Greek and Spanish bonds earlier dropped after reports added to evidence the regional debt crisis is slowing growth.
A composite index based on a survey of purchasing managers in manufacturing and services in the euro area fell to 45.8 in October from 46.1 the previous month, London-based Markit Economics said. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg forecast an increase to 46.5. A reading below 50 indicates contraction.
The yield on 10-year Spanish bonds fell five basis points to 5.58 percent after rising as much as seven basis points to 5.69 percent. Germany's 10-year bond yield was little changed at 1.56 percent
Germany's debt agency received bids of 5.06 billion euros for the September 2022 bonds it auctioned today, surpassing its maximum target for the sale of 4 billion euros. The securities were allotted at an average yield of 1.56 percent, versus 1.52 percent at the prior sale on Sept. 26.
The head of Europe's permanent rescue fund, Klaus Regling, said it still had 28 billion euros of the 32 billion euros paid in so far to invest by the end of November.
ESM Purchases
The European Stability Mechanism has invested 4 billion euros in "highly rated" government bonds and the debt of international institutions, Regling said yesterday in a Bloomberg Television interview in Luxembourg. The ESM became operational on Oct. 8 and will rely on paid-in capital by European governments to underpin its firepower of 500 billion euros.
Volatility on Finnish bonds was the highest in the euro- region markets today, followed by Portugal, according to measures of 10-year or equivalent-maturity debt, the spread between two-and 10-year securities, and credit default swaps.
German bonds returned 2.5 percent this year through yesterday, according to indexes compiled by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies. Spanish securities rose 2.6 percent, while Italy's made 17 percent.

Fish delicacy Thai villagers relish can be deadly
The villagers in this poverty-stricken farming community are passionate about their food, especially the traditional varieties of fermented fish that one fan describes as tasting like heaven but smelling like hell.
The New York Times
LAWA, Thailand — The villagers in this poverty-stricken farming community are passionate about their food, especially the traditional varieties of fermented fish that one fan describes as tasting like heaven but smelling like hell.
It can be a fatal attraction, medical researchers say. The raw fish that is so avidly consumed in the stilt houses here that sit among the rice paddies and wetlands of the country's northern provinces contain parasites that can accumulate in the liver and lead to a deadly cancer, according to the researchers.
Known as bile-duct cancer, it is relatively uncommon in most parts of the world but represents the majority of the 70 liver-cancer deaths a day in Thailand, according to Dr. Banchob Sripa, the head of the tropical-disease research laboratory at nearby Khon Kaen University.
"It's the most deadly and persistent cancer in the region," Banchob said.
For the last three decades, he has led a campaign against the parasite, known as a liver fluke, which is also endemic in Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, parts of China, the Korean peninsula and Siberia.
Dr. Peter Hotez, the president of the Sabin Vaccine Institute, a nonprofit organization in the United States that researches neglected tropical diseases, described liver flukes as one of "the most important infectious causes of cancer that no one has ever heard of."
Cooking the fish would eliminate the risk of infection. But the battle against liver flukes is being undermined by a deeply ingrained love of the sour and smoky-tasting fermented dishes that generations of villagers have relished.
Some villagers just cannot break the habit, said Nutcharin Yanarangsri, a volunteer at a government health clinic here in the village who spends her days walking from house to house with a singular message: "Say no to raw fish!"
"We tell them, 'If you really want to eat it, you'd better boil it or cook it,' " Nutcharin said during one of her rounds through the village. "But they tell me: 'Eating it raw is so delicious. I can't stop. I love it!' "
It is hard to overstate the love of food in Thailand. Be it a green papaya salad with just the right mix of sweet and sour, or a duck curry swimming in spices, the country's 65 million people seem to spend their waking hours either talking about food or eating it.
But the obsession also has a masochistic side. It is not uncommon for office workers to dine on five-alarm chili-laced dishes for lunch, only to rush to the bathroom a few hours later with a bad case of Bangkok belly.
The love of fermented foods, especially in northeast Thailand, also largely overpowers any consideration of the consequences.
One popular dish in northeast Thailand is called pla som, or sour fish, which is made by mixing raw fish, garlic, salt, steamed rice and a pinch of seasoning powder. The mixture is shaped into egg-size portions, put into plastic bags and left to sit in the tropical heat for three days. That is not nearly long enough to kill the parasites, which die only after at least six months of fermentation.
Liver flukes are present only in fresh water and are very localized. In Bangkok, a five-hour drive away, there is almost no infection from them.
Transmitted through feces, the parasites thrive in rural areas without proper sanitation, and their life cycles involve using snails, fish, cats and humans as hosts.
Yet villagers do not see fermented fish as a dangerous thrill.
It is not comparable to the tradition in Japan of eating fugu, the puffer fish that is potentially toxic when prepared the wrong way.
The deadly effects of eating parasite-infected raw fish accumulate over decades, similar to drinking large amounts of alcohol over a lifetime and ruining one's liver. (Heavy drinking increases the chance of bile-duct cancer for those infected with the parasite, according to Banchob.)
Anywhere from 1 to 5 percent of people infected with the parasites contract liver cancer, researchers say.
Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia also have high rates of liver cancer, according to U.N. statistics. Banchob estimated that about 10 percent of the population in Laos was infected with liver flukes.
Hotez, of the Sabin Institute, groups the parasite with a number of other worms and ailments that rarely afflict wealthy urban populations and thus attract relatively little attention.
"Even though Thailand is a middle-class country, there are still pockets of intense poverty — and with that poverty come high rates of neglected tropical diseases," Hotez said. "We've got the technology to make vaccines. But we don't have the funding."
Dr. Cherdchai Tontisirin, a surgeon in Khon Kaen who has operated on liver-cancer patients, blamed the Thai government for the persistence of the disease. More could be done to make sure villagers stop eating raw fish, he said.
"The government has never taken this seriously," Cherdchai said. "This is a disease that affects only the north and the northeast, and these are regions that have been forgotten for a long time."

Canon has thrown accepted camera design out of the window for its new wi-fi enabled Canon Powershot N compact, aimed at the smartphone and Instagram generation. Here's our first impressions
Canon has brought fresh thinking to compact camera design with the introduction of the Canon Powershot N. The unusual, almost square shape of the camera, plus the absence of any conventional shutter or zoom buttons is only part of the story – it also offers some unique features on the inside.
Starting with the body design, the Canon Powershot N is designed for 'any way up' operation, with only a flip-up touchscreen on the back and two rings around the lens that are used to zoom and take a picture, from whichever angle the camera is being held at.
The capacitive type touch screen is a 2.8 inch PureColor II G with 461,000 dot resolution, from which most of the Canon Powershot N's controls must be accessed. The only external buttons on the sides are for power, playback and one-touch wi-fi access.
Canon's feature set has taken more than a little inspiration from the popularity of apps such as Instagram. The Canon Powershot N has two operational modes, normal and Creative Shot, which is the default. In this mode the camera takes creative effects modes to levels not seen before on a camera. After taking a photo, which can be bracketed for focus or exposure, it then present the users with five randomly chosen variations using the extensive selection of on-board effects, like a lucky dip. In addition to the filters the camera also applies creative crops or even change the point of focus from the original, which is also saved to the card. Alternatively, single effects can be manually selected by the user.
Compact cameras are increasingly having to offer features you can't get on a smartphone these days, and the Powershot N offers an 8x optical zoom covering the range from 28mm – 224mm (equivalent) with lens-shift image stabilisation that offers 3.5 stops of stability. At the core of the camera is a 12.1MP 1/2.3 type back illuminated CMOS sensor, which is much bigger than you'd find on the average phone, promising greatly superior image quality.
The Canon Powershot N offers full HD 1080p video at 24fps,or 720p at 30fps, as well as super slow-mo at 640×480 pixels.
The Canon Powershot N makes sharing easy with the incorporation of one-touch wi-fi connectivity that lets users post images online direct from the camera when in a wi-fi hotspot, or transferred instantly to a smartphone or tablet using the dedicated app. With the app, GPS data can also be added to the images from the phone.
First impressions of the Canon Powershot N are generally positive. It's very small (just 78.6 x 60.2 x 29.3 mm when the screen and lens are closed) and light, and easy to use one-handed, as intended. The design encourages shooting from unusual angles, and the ring-based zoom and shutter system is simple and intuitive to operate.
Available in a choice of black or white the Canon Powershot N will be available in April, at £269.

When founders J. Kim Tucci, Joseph A. Fresta, and John P. Ferrara first opened The Pasta House Co. in 1974, they wanted to elevate pasta to an art form. ?Some artists sculpt, some paint, and some sketch,? they write on the restaurant?s website. ?But, at The Pasta House Co., we create authentic Italian culinary delights.? A few of the locations even have giant, exhibition kitchens so you can watch as pizzas, pastas, and entrees come to life.
Naturally, The Pasta House Co.?s menu revolves around the Italian staple from which it gets its name. There are more than 25 varieties of pasta to choose from, including linguine with chicken livers and the signature lasagna, plus weekday specials such as stuffed manicotti. Meanwhile, the mangia bene menu?which translates to ?eat well? in Italian?showcases the more wholesome side of Italian eating, with dishes low in fat and calories that won?t peer pressure you to break curfew.
Ten flat-screen televisions play sports, sports, and more sports inside Texas Smokehouse and Saloon, and on select nights, the bar treats patrons to live musical acts and haiku readings. Drinks pair with chicken and beef sandwiches and soft pretzels brushed with a Budweiser and garlic-herb seasoning.
Maggie Malone's menu merges aggressive appetites with burgers, steaks, and sandwiches in an entertaining environment that hosts live music, 15 TVs, pool, and shuffleboard. Pub grubbers can crunch toasted ravioli ($7.99) or scoop spinach-artichoke dip ($6.99) while raising a beer to their favorite team or shampoo commercial airing on one of two 100" TV screens. Burger aficionados can bestow their bellies with the sautéed onion-and-pepper-topped blackened cheeseburger ($6.99) or brave the fiery 5 Alarm burger ($6.99) for a face-reddening feast. Toss a coin into the jukebox for a tune to accompany the Irish Reuben ($7.99) or the 8-ounce rib-eye steak sandwich served with a choice of chips, fries, or onion rings ($8.99). Kids always eat free at Maggie's, meaning children will not have to sing for their supper or recite Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics for a snack.
Though its name exudes confidence, Great Location Bar & Grill opened in a spot shrouded in doubt. This popular Wentzville hangout has relied on a very precise formula to build a rock-solid fan base: delicious food, cold drinks, and plenty of entertainment. Here, guests feast on St. Louis?style pizzas, stuffed burgers, deep-fired grilled cheese sandwiches and the Porknado: a dish so massive it doesn't fit on the restaurant's twisted bread or in its racecar bed. Between rounds of toasted ravioli, viper bites, chicken wings, friends pass the time while playing darts, shooting pool, watching big games on a dozen high-def TVs, and listening to the live bands that frequently grace the restaurant's stage.

Girls' Heroic Hike Saves Their Mom
Tuesday, August 20th, 2013
A 7-year-old and 5-year-old recently ran more than two miles on an Oregon hiking trail to get help for their mother, who suffered respiratory failure after an asthma attack. Led by the family dog, the girls helped each other over tricky terrain to reach a ranger who alerted rescue personnel. Here's the story from Yahoo! Shine:
Heather Conrad-Smith is now recovering and credits her daughters for saving her life. "It still blows me away my two girls saved my life," Conrad-Smith told KEPR of the harrowing rescue. "If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here today."
It was supposed to be an effortless nature hike while on a family vacation, so the former nurse, who has asthma, decided not to bring her inhaler. She thought the pace of the hike would be easy, especially with her two young daughters, Ashleigh and Kelianne, in tow.
But on the way back from their 10-mile loop, Conrad-Smith found herself short of breath. Her husband, Steve, carried her but knew he couldn't get her the help she desperately needed in time. Suffering from respiratory failure, which limits oxygen passing from the lungs to the bloodstream, she needed help fast, so Conrad-Smith instructed her daughters to continue ahead on the trail and run for help.
With their family dog leading the way, the two girls swiftly guided each other over fallen trees and rocks, mindful of the nearby cliff with a lake below them. "We had to walk on the rocks and I went superquick, and I didn't even fall," Kelianne told a KEPR reporter.
After running for 2 miles, Kelianne and Ashleigh spotted a ranger, who called for help. Firefighters quickly rescued Heather, thanks to precise location details from Conrad-Smith's daughters.
